Portland, county of' Cumberland, State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necks and Closures for Containing Vessels, of which the following i's a specification.

Thls invention relates to the closing'of containing vvessels and particularly to the `application of openable closures to goods packed under seal, especially in ca'ns or like packages where a metallic neck may be employed.

In the packaging of many kinds of goods it is extremely desirable to have them under a protected seal While using a closure which will be readily openable and closable for ordinary use. This -is particularly true ofthe varnish trade which affords an excellent illustration for the present case.

guarantee or other text, may be displayed.y

Uver the mouth of the neck'l and on the wafer 5 is slipped the cap 6 of the closure. The cap 6 is surrounded by a depending Flange 7 andiscentrally pierced at 8 b an openingadapted to overlie the bore ot the neck 1. Within the iange Z is an annular packing 19 Whiohoverlies the lip 2 of the neck 1.

9 isfa coverpivoted to the cap 6 at 10, which is a rivet raisedin the metal of the cover and headed under the plate of the cap which is pierced to receive it.

l1 is ,a .recess struck into the cover 9, in

which is set a (packing 12 which covers the opening 8 an seals the same when the wafer 5 is cut out.

13. is a point raised in the plate of the quick drying and gumming propertiesof capo and 14 is a similarly formedrecess varnish make it essential that a closure be 1n the cover 9 for 1nterengagement under provided for the'can which will make the the action of the spring locking lip 15 on stopping and unstopping easy and certain and which at the same time will make pos-v y in the specification which follows.

In the specification I have set forth as an illustrative embodiment a closure for use on a varnish can mouth for the reasons stated above. This embodiment I have shown in the accompanying drawings to which reference is made in the said specication by means of reference numerals uniformly applied throughout.

In these drawings z-Figure l is a pla view of my closure with cover open to show seal, Fig. 2 is a side view thereof, Fig.' 3

is a sectional view on the line indicated 3-3, Fig. 1, but with the cover closed, Fig.

4 is a section at right angles to that of Fig. 3 but with the cover open, Fig. 5 is a view of the cap with cover removed, Fig.

6 is a section of the neck, and Fig. 7 is, an'

enlarged sectional detail of one side of a closure and neck( 1 is a metallic varnish can neck having at its. mouth an outwardly turned'lip 2 from which drops a rim 8, the edge of which is crimped or rolled under as at 4. On the 3 and to penetrate between said rim and theneck 1 so as to be covered as against any effort to pry them up. In this manner the cap is permanently clenched 'to the rim of the neck and the Wafer 5 is held against removal, renewal or substitution. In use, the cover 9 is 'swung to one side and the wafer -5 cut out.I The contents of the can may then .be used from time to time and sealed each time by closing the cover 9 but the can may not be again filled and put out as an original package. What I therefore claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A delivery nozzle forl ai containing vessel comprising a neck member having a discharge opening for the vessel and hava discharge opening and a cover,

dis

2. A delivery nozzle for a containing .vessel` comprising a. neckmemher-having a lrge A,opening for the 4vessel and' having about its vmouth an overhanging rim' bent inwardly toward\but having its edgespaced from said 'neck member, a closure for said nozzle comprising.. a ca having aidischcrge opening and a cover, epending fingers on scid cap and clenched beneath-said inwardly bent portion of the rim and enteringinthe space'betweenthe rim' andthe neck-- member, rim engaging lugs on `cap4 engaging lthe :overhan'ging portion' of said rim.
